A death? A crazy fight? A snake puking up a fish? I'm feeling morbid today.

Don't know the exact situations but to witness all those things... I hope you attempted to intervene in at least some of them...

He is a life time criminal and these are things that he has done.

I experienced a relationship with a religious Korean girl, scary stuff.

Never even been arrested. I've had several FBI and State CBCs for my work. All clean.

I got slashed across the stomach by a mentally ill 15 yr old Japanese girl during a class with one of those paper cutter/pen knives. I still have a long scar. She had terrible life circumstances and I feel no anger for her.

That's not the disturbing part. Because my shirt was ruined and I was obviously bleeding I took off to the washroom to clean myself up. Teaching with an open wound seemed like a bad idea. Silly me. That's when my inhuman b*tch of a co teacher reported me to the VP for missing 20 minutes of the class.

Why the heck did she slash you? Your presentation of the past-perfect couldn't have been that unbearable? Surprised

Dude, that's intense. So much scarier to me than the other things listed above.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die. Crying or Very sad

Other than that, probably no worse than people getting booted in the head when they were down. Actually the worst thing I've seen was probably a bad leg break in a football match. It was a nasty tackle. The lad playing alonside me in defence had his tibia visible through his shin pad, which was shattered too

Laughing Laughing My Favorite movie !

-In India, walking on the road, I've seen a dead body of a Nepali man, flies all around him, everyone just passing him by.

-On a different road ,I've seen a family all caked in dirt, living by the roadside, the picture of the (girl?) always in my mind, completely covered in dirt, just waking up with matted hair. I couldn't even breathe on that roadway because of the polution and dust kicked up by the traffic, and this family lives and sleeps there.

- Mumbai at night, in the brothel area. Hundreds of men, women and children all for sale, for 300 rupees ($3 in 2004) or less. The picture of a grossly fat indian man about 55, hugging two young girls about 13-15 on each side of him through a whoreshouse window, watching tv after a 'session'. He only has his towel around his privates, doesn't care who watches from the road, the girls are wearing skimpy saris.

Saw a friend in uni commit suicide by gunshot to the head. Also saw someone die from a knife-wound at a bar.
I don't even want to get into the things I saw when I worked in child protection.
